I think your best option is to do a retrofit. You would need a pair of projectors, pair of ballast and a pair of HID globes. People usually go for the largest projector they can fit in the housing. I would say your best to visit hidplanet.com for more information.

Doing a retrofit of some sort on your headlights will be illegal, but I highly doubt a police officer will defect you for them. Retrofits don't usually glare too much if you're using good quality lens and globes.

The 'normal' projectors are usually only low beam where as bi-xenon are high and low beam in the one projector.

And yeah, try to get your hands on some honda euro projectors and get some genuine philip branded ballasts and globes.

Cheers

I'm not too sure, but I think it was 2.5" or 3". Best to go hidplanet.com. They use these projectors quite a lot. The american name for them would be 'tsx' projectors or 'tl'. One of them is bi-xenon and the other is just low beam. Shouldn't be too hard to find out which one it is.

They're called 'tl' projectors. Just do a quick search on hidplanet.com and it should give you a pinned thread of the sizes of common projectors used. S2000 projectors, BMW projectors etc.

did you mean search on hidplanet forum or a web site?

on website there are only porsche and RS6 or s6...

found s2000 projector on US ebay

ive got a dimension from seller but...

which dimension should i have to consider to know whether its going to fit on my R34???

just lens dimension? or full braket?

the seller gave me this:

Honda S2000

Height: 105.60mm

Diameter = 71.70mm

Width Trimmed from the stock bracket= 113.50mm

Length = 135.30mm

Length(seat of the lens to mounting holes) = 41.40mm

Length(mounting holes to end of bulb) = 93.90mm

cheers

Yeah, sorry, I meant search on the hidplanet.com forum.

The main thing would be to get a lens which would still fit in the stock headlight housing. And for the brakets, I'm not too sure mate. :thumbsup: Best to do some research on the hidplanet.com forum. See what others are doing and apply your knowledge. :rolleyes:

I think there should also be a write up on how to retrofit hids into the r32 headlight. I'll try and find the thread for you. It's on sau somewhere.

yes i found that thread and read.. but its R32.. mine is r34... so not sure i can do myself..

need someone else who can do it and has some warranty for moisture inside of headlight....

do you know anyone do this installation?

cheers~

Nah I don't mate. I haven't heard of anyone in Aus being able to do it (as a job). I think it's best to do it yourself. Try reading on hidplanet.com forum a bit more to see if you can work it out. From what I've seen on that site, you'll be pretty satisfied with the outcome.

I want to do a retrofit one day, just not on the skyline.

Goodluck with it though mate.

No worries.

I see you're after a set of genuine hid lamps now. I think someone said it was about $800 for a set off yahooauctions. I think it'll be best to attack the compliance people who took them out in the first place. :P

They'll be in Aussie somewhere. If you bought your car from a import car dealer, chances are they took them out. Not too sure if you'll be able to get the lights off them though, but good luck.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
